Document changes: modeling, detection, storage and visualization (DChanges 2014)

Abstract

With collaborative tools getting more and more widespread, users have started to become accustomized to features like automatic versioning of their documents or the visualization of changes made by other users. The research community, however, sees that the state of the current tools is seriously lack lusting. The second edition of the DChanges workshop focuses on these shortcomings, introducing new ways to produce version-aware documents and merge changes from multiple sources. Other aspects - in particular, the standardization of formats for tracking changes - are discussed, too. The gathering is also an occasion to follow up on the projects that were discussed or presented during DChanges 2013, and to foster new collaborations among researchers.
